Your code lacks some content,you seem to have deleted some text. I suggest you reset the lesson,then only change the linear-gradient to repeating-linear-gradient

Howdy! I wanted to again, point out to what @stephenmutheu said.

Your variables seem to be incorrectly declared and called. The line breaks are also not the same, which could be causing some problems.

I suggest resetting the lesson, and simply change linear-gradient to repeating-linear-gradient

Hope this helps!
